Spoilers

What do y'all think about a stock 'teg spoiler or a stock Del Sol spoiler? For my Sedan, obviously.. oh, and just to be an ass, when I get around to getting all the badges back on the car, I'm getting an Si badge, and taking the i and putting it after the LX that's supposed to be there... so it's going to say LXi rofl.

I won't actually put that one on the car until I get the DOHC engine tho. Although that kinda makes it seem like a Chrysler or something... maybe I won't do that after all...

Re: Spoilers

Man I really wouldn't do that. Someone on h-t posted a picture of a sedan with a mustang wing on it and it looked kinda like a acorrd wing and it looked like ass.

If you really want something to make the trunk lid pop more, i'd sudjest doing what a lot of the 4 door integra guys do and use something along the lines of a vigor trunk 'lip'.

Re: Spoilers

Will do... did they come stock on anything? b/c I was thinking about getting the upper spoiler from a hatch and just extending it to fit my "needs", if that spoiler wasn't stock on anything, the one you're talking about I mean.

Re: Spoilers

I found a stock 2.0Si Prelude spoiler, w/ the 3rd brake light in it, I was test fitting it to a Civic LX in the yard, and it looked really good... low profile, doesn't stand out all that much, and it's nice and full-bodied, but follows the lines of the car... I almost bought it, but I didn't have enough to get that and the seats that I got from the same Prelude... so yeah, seats it was.

Re: Spoilers

If you do run a spoiler with a "third brake light" please unhook the one you were using so you don't have 4 brake lights. That is the tackiest thing on any car... but for some reason, people seem to love it.

IMO, the reason sedans look so nice is the lack of spoiler and the smooth trunk recede...

Re: Spoilers

Smooth? they look like square boxes to me, and are the reason I wouldnt own one.

Re: Spoilers

I planned on completely removing the stock 3rd light, since I need a brake light for my Go-Kart anyway. I only need one, F1 style, right there in the middle. I dunno if I'm going to use the spoiler tho. I just want something that accents the lines of the car, but low and lean.

Sorry. I was thinking more of the Integra 4-door or any other sedan for that matter...
